jazzbo Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 I don't know why this would rule out anything! I think it's a good idea. After two volumes of 'lectric Miles, they came up with a catch all concept to cover a 'fifties, 'sixties and 'sixties string of shows, something for everyone. Sony doesn't care if stuff has been out on bootleg before, that's the point of this series, to encompass bootleg material. And there's plenty of other stuff from '71 to '75 that can be used in future sets. I have more than one hundred bootlegs myself and there are many many shows in great sound that could feed this series for more than a decade. We just have to see if Sony can keep their reissue department and the estate interested. Quote

mjzee Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 I think I was at the 7/1/75 concert. It was billed as "The Midnight Miles" because the concert began at midnight. It was a great concert. I don't know why only one track is being included here; the entire concert was available on one of those download sites. Quote
king ubu Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 Okay, disc 2 alone is pretty great! And I sure hope this will not rule out anything! Quote

Stefan Wood Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 drool. Pavlovian reaction to any Miles release from this series. Quote

medjuck Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Both sets of Dietikon would fill at least three discs, so I guess only parts of it ... Newport 1969 has been out, why bring it back again? Newport 1955 is, in my opinion, overrated ... it's short, it's somewhat disjointed, and no way it's any kind of comeback in a musical way (possibly in a public perception way? you old guys tell me, I wouldn't know if it was more than mere marketing) - Miles recorded tons of better music in 1954. Here's Losin's entry on the 1955 set: http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=550717 It's been in circulation on Jazz Unlimited and more recently on a 2CD set by Storyville combining their two MD pd(/boot?) releases - the second disc of which has been surplussed by the TCB release of the 1960 Zurich concert (which I like quite some, though it's worlds apart from the tension of the Paris show or the Stockholm set - a very relaxed affair ...). I was also underwhelmed by Newport '55 and 'Round Midnight. Maybe because I'd read so much about it and so eagerly awaited hearing it. Also agree that he recorded a lot of great stuff in '54-- including (and especially) on Xmas Eve. Edited May 1, 2015 by medjuck Quote
sidewinder Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 Volumes 1-3 have all been worthwhile, so I don't expect this to be any different. I'm IN! Same here (and I still have to buy Vol 1!) Quote
GregK Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) 15 hours ago, BFrank said: The SF Chronicle has a weekly piece called "Chronicle Classic" where they re-print a column from the past. This one, in last Sunday's paper, is particularly appropriate for this topic!Trumpet sorcery by Miles Davis, Ralph J. Gleason, 1970 These two paragraphs from the end are especially interesting:In the dressing room, I asked, “You gonna play another set?” He looked at me. “After THAT?” he said. Bill Graham said, “That one set was better than all four at the Fillmore East.” Miles smiled. “I know it,” he said. The Prince of Darkness had taken the Fillmore in his silent way on his own trip to his own special land. It was a remarkable achievement and it was remarkable music. “Columbia should have taped it,” Miles said. “I taped it,” Bill Graham said. “I tape everything.” So maybe it won’t be lost. how did Graham tape everything? did he have equipment at the soundboard, or did he mean a personal recorder?

jazzbo Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 I haven't heard any of them, but these Fillmore recordings are available for purchase digital file-wise from their "Vault" and there have been positive sound quality comments--this leads me to believe that they are soundboard recordings.

jazzbo Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 Cool. I think I have most of these from collector's circles. . . and I'm sure they sound better from the legitimate source. And there are many other artists' recordings available, and sound impressions I've read are good. . . I believe these are soundboards. Quote
